We have hats from last year, we just need them for the smilies we have acquired during the year.

But yes that style is what I think DC is after

I have to admit that whenever I see or hear the word Christmas my attention is immediately gained.

The mad smiley does look kind of surreal with a Christmas cap on... but I like it.

I vote in favour of giving all the smilies caps for a few weeks around christmas. It will add some festive cheer to this place

BTW, I'm looking forward to these guys wearing christmas caps:

umm Crunch, Mr.Santa Claus has nothing to do with the true meaning of Christmas.

Zilch, nothing, nada...

The christmas we know today is a mere spectacle. A Corporate holiday, to get you spend more and more. We all participate in this spectacle....

Big Crunch, you're right we aren't mind readers. But it is a good reason for you to focus on the word.

SITS, Santa Claus is to Christmas as Muhammad Ali, the boxer, is to Islam. There is a relationship perhaps, but it is quite dim in the eyes of most of us. As to the hats, I'll bet a lot of us would have fun with hats at all sorts of holidays. Others, such as Gasmaske, would regard all of it as "too twee," even tho smilies themselves sans hats are pretty twee.

Faded and Blaupanzer - I agree that a Santa cap isn't necessarily a reference to christ etc but the title of this thread is 'Christmas Caps...' and a few posters repeat the phrase 'Christmas caps...' before I posted. Now if the thread was 'Santa caps' then it wouldn't be excluding a large section of the worlds population and I wouldn't need to post with my tongue slightly in my cheek!

The use of the word Christmas is christen-centric and from what I understand of America they use Holiday season instead so they don't exclude anyone. Which doesn't sound like a bad idea in the current international situation...

If I could have one capped smiley as a model, I'm sure I could design caps for the smileys in no time.

...Some people take offence at anything- I'm not offended by the fact that Muslims celebrate Ramadan- Why should anyone be offended by others celebrating their religious holidays?

DC - I'm not sure it is about people being offended by others celebrating another religion it is the assumption that their religion/beliefs are the only ones etc. This can be conveyed by language as well as actions. But to be honest I'm not too arsed!

Speak for yourself.

Many of us associate Christmas with Santa Claus more strongly than with a certain Jesus of Nazareth.

...which should say something about the validity of the complaints about Apolyton honoring a religious holiday...

I like the caps...and its Apolyton tradition...keep 'em.
